Where to see jets fly over close at ohare?

I JUST ASKED THE SAME QUESTION. I HAVE NOT GOT A REPLY YET , BUT I HAVE TWIN 10 MONTH OLDS AND THEY ARE GETTING INTO WATCHING THEM TOO.

I LIVE ON THE NORTHSIDE AND WE WENT TO A PARK IN DES PLAINES YESTERDAY , YOU CAN SEE THEM KINDA GOOD THERE BUT I STILL WOULD LIKE TO GET CLOSER.

I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT THE PARK WAS CALLED , IT STARTS WITH AN "A" AND IT'S BY TOUGHY AND MANHEIM. ALSO THERE IS A TARGET AND STUFF ON THAT CORNER. ANOTHER GOOD IDEA IS TO GO TO THE "COLD STONE" ICE CREAM JOINT IN THAT STRIP MALL , YOU CAN GET ICE CREAM AND WATCH THE PLANES THERE TOO , THEY ARE REAL CLOSE THERE, WE DID THAT YESTERDAY, THE SEEMED LIKE THEY HD FUN.

Probably can get a good view from the OHare Oasis on I294 on the south (east?) bound side, or if they are landing from the north, maybe you can park in the parking lot at Allstate Arena, they fly RIGHT over that lot, but I don't know if there is access to that lot if nothing is going on at the arena.

You want to see them close up, you can come to my backyard. Plane fly directly over my house in Elmhurst. There is actually a really nice park just off of York Road and Grand Avenue called Conrad Fischer Park. There are swings and slides for the kids, as well as picnic benches there, planes fly over all day long, and real close too.

Drive west on Irving Park Rd past Manheim Rd. Pull your car off to the side of the road onto the shoulder and you'll get a really nice view of them landing/taking off.

If you are uncomfortable being along the road, you can pull into the post office at O'Hare. It's the next light after Manheim Rd.

Beaware, if you do park on Irving you wont get to say there long as you will be considered a TAS threat. Depending on which way the wind is blowing you can park in one of the factory lots on York rd they fly directly over on landing and take off.

W Irving Park Blvd, along the south end of the airport.
